From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-12 i686) Description of problem: I cannot find a way to use this tool to edit a firewall configuration that already exists in /etc/sysconfig/ipchains. (Since the Help dialog says that it stores its results into that file, I assume that it should be able to load the contents for editing). The tool starts with an empty set of rules, whether or not there is a file name argument given when starting the tool. No "File" button, no change when clicking the "Default" button, no information in the Help dialog, nada. I have verified that the file does exist, and has configuration information. The existing contents were generated (I believe) when I installed the system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start with a system with firewall information configured from system installation. 2.Invoke firewall-config, with or without an argument /etc/sysconfig/ipchains. Actual Results: The dialog window comes up with no existing rules shown. Additional info:
it does store the values in /etc/sysconfig/ipchains, but do to a subset of commands the GUI version is read/written to/from /etc/sysconfig/firewall. For 8.0 there will be a ipchains converter and an iptables config tool which will give you full editing of /etc/sysconfig/iptables... Sorry... maybe gnome-lokkit is what you are looking for?
